Frank Vang-Jensen (51) joined Nordea in 2017 as Head of Personal Banking and Country Senior Executive for Nordea in Denmark. In 2018 he was promoted to Head of Personal Banking and member of Group Executive Management. Frank Vang-Jensen will continue to head Personal Banking until a replacement is announced. Prior to Nordea, Frank Vang-Jensen worked at Handelsbanken for many years, most recently as President and CEO. He holds a degree from Copenhagen Business School.

With his leadership, Nordea has made critical investments into risk and compliance as well as into the bank’s digital platforms and technology capabilities. Today, the bank has a better and simpler structure for meeting the future than when he took office in 2015. His genuine and dedicated work with customers has inspired and changed Nordea. The entire Board would like to thank Casper von Koskull for his years of service and dedication, says Torbjörn Magnusson.
